Psalm 2 is one of the most important psalms in the entire Psalter—royal, prophetic, and deeply complex. It speaks of God’s anointed king on Mount Zion, a promise of protection for Israel, and a foreshadowing of the Messiah. But it also contains troubling language about wrath, power, and violence that challenges our modern understanding of God. In this episode of The Psalmcast, we explore Psalm 2 as both history and eschatology, trace its connections to Psalm 1 and the Davidic covenant, and see how the New Testament reads it as pointing to Christ. Most importantly, we learn how Psalm 2 invites us to pray with boldness—to laugh with God at evil and to take refuge in Christ, the King set on Zion’s holy hill.
